  • Psalm 19

    The heavens declare the glory of God, . . .
    The precepts of the LORD are right, . . .
    May the words of my mouth
    and the meditations of my heart
    be acceptable to you,
    LORD, my rock and my Redeemer.

    There is testimony to God all around us.

    The rising sun.

    The glory of the sky.

    The beauty of the planets and stars.

    Even the course of the sun.

    All of it testifies to the majestic glory of God, almighty, creator.

    Not only that, He has provided His Word that we might know and fear Him. We can have life today and in eternity that is secured by almighty God – my Rock and my Redeemer!

  • Psalm 18

    The LORD is my rock,
    my fortress, and my deliverer,
    my God, my rock where I seek refuge,
    my shield and the horn of my salvation,
    my stronghold.

    This is a rich Psalm, full of imagery to write about, to consider illustrating – more importantly, to understand as a way to view and recognize God, especially in times of danger, insecurity, or fear.

    The Lord is my place of refuge.

    He isn’t just“like” a rock,

    “like” a fortress,

    “like” a stronghold.

    He is those things.

    A firm immovable foundation of solid rock;

    a deliverer when I am pursued;

    a shield from the blast of sin and torment;

    salvation – strong salvation when I am astray.

    He is my stronghold. My secure, impenetrable place of rest and security.
